+Subject: [PATCH] meson: drop misplaced -Wl,--undefined argument
+
+Ld's man page says the following:
+
+  -u symbol
+  --undefined=symbol
+
+  Force symbol to be entered in the output file as an undefined symbol. Doing
+  this may, for example, trigger linking of additional modules from standard
+  libraries. -u may be repeated with different option arguments to enter
+  additional undefined symbols. This option is equivalent to the "EXTERN"
+  linker script command.
+
+  If this option is being used to force additional modules to be pulled into
+  the link, and if it is an error for the symbol to remain undefined, then the
+  option --require-defined should be used instead.
+
+This would imply that it always requires an argument, which this does not
+pass. Thus it will grab the next argument on the command line as its
+argument. Before it took one of the many -lrt args (presumably) and now it
+grabs something other random linker argument and things break.
+
+[zj: this line was added in the first version of the meson configuration back
+in 5c23128daba7236a6080383b2a5649033cfef85c. AFAICT, this was a mistake. No
+such flag appeared in Makefile.am at the time.]
